Safety Requirements1.2

Power Connection

Before connection, check whether the Mailing System is suitable for the local AC power

voltage (110V – 60Hz).

THIS SYSTEM MUST BE GROUNDED

•

Only connect the power plug to an outlet provided with a

protective ground contact.

•

To reduce the risk of fire, use only the power cord supplied

with the Mailing System.

•

Do not use ground adaptors.

•

Do not use this product on a wet floor or near water.

•

In case of liquid spillage, disconnect the power cord from the

outlet and proceed with cleaning.

•

Use an outlet located near the system that is easily accessible. Do not route the

power cord between pieces of furniture or over sharp edges.

•

Avoid using outlets controlled by wall switches or shared by other equipment.

•

Make sure the mailing system is close enough to the electric outlet that it leaves

plenty of slack on the power supply cord.

Online Services and to a mail accounting software (MAS), located on a separate PC.

that connect to the modem and LAN connectors that are bigger:

Analog phone (4 wires)

Network/PC LAN (8 wires)

Follow the additional precautions below:

•

Avoid using your system during an electrical storm; as there may be a risk of electrical

shock from lightning.

•

Do not install telephone jacks or LAN connectors in a wet location.

•

Disconnect the telephone or LAN cable from the wall before moving your system.

To reduce the risk of fire, only connect the modem to the telephone

line using the supplied cable (see Specifications on page 201 ).
